DVD Support
Thu, 2009-04-02 11:09
One feature I would like to see is local content support for DVD's. I have quite a few DVD's copied over to my HDD via "My Movies" in Windows Media Center. They are stored in the VIDEO_TS folder structure. Rather than going back and forth from Zinc to Media Center, I would like to stop using "My Movies" and see and play my DVD's right from Zinc. A display of the movie info and a thumbnail of the DVD cover would really be great too.
Now somewhere in the FAQs or Help pages it said there was support for DVDs in Local Content...If there already is, what am I doing wrong?

I am assuming Zinc will then also support all video formats that VLC does? A stupid question perhaps, but if so, that would be awesome.

cant wait!!
We'll have support for playing DVDs stored in raw VIDEO_TS format or ISO format in a future version. The plan is to use the VLC firefox plugin to play the videos.
DVD support is mentioned on the help page, and it does seem a bit unclear. There are many programs that can rip DVDs to .avi or .mpg, which can be played through Zinc. I'll see if we can get that page clarified and perhaps link to some quality rippers like handbrake.
